Starting application with target waypoint

Hello,

I am the developper of the android app: CacheZoeker.
This is an application for geocaching.

For geocaching it is useful to have TOPO maps and with OruxMaps it is possible to get them on Android. Instead of developping my own TOPO maps within CacheZoeker, I would like to use OruxMaps. However, this would mean that I would like to start OruxMaps with a target waypoint.
E.g. within CacheZoeker waypoints are created and one is selected as a target waypoint. If the user wants to switch from Google maps to TOPO map, then the CacheZoeker can start OruxMaps and the user sees the waypoints on the map and the target waypoint can be seen.

Is this possible? And if so, how?
Can I write some data somewhere or is there another solution?

Hi, Robert;

With current version, you can open:

--best offline map (more detailed map if exists) at current position using:
Intent i=new Intent("com.oruxmaps.VIEW_MAP_OFFLINE");
startActivity(i);

--last online map used (default google maps) at a given position:
Intent i=new Intent("com.oruxmaps.VIEW_MAP_ONLINE");
i.putExtra("latitude", 0.00);//latitude, wgs84 datum
i.putExtra("longitude", 0.000);//longitude, wgs84 datum
startActivity(i);

But I can add other options, through Extra data, if you want; -->oruxuro@gmail.com

Thanks for your quick reply.
I have sent you an email.

Great support!

HI

is it possible to add some intent to start/stop a new/old tracklog?

It would be perfect because with the app Tasker my milestone allready knows that when i power on my bluetoothheadset i´m going to bicycle and tasker can then start tracking and stop it later when the headset is unplugged. So i can never forget to do the tracking(what almost everytime happens )


Best regards Jannis

Hi
don´t want to bother, but are there any new intents?
